At First, All Went Well ...
Collected obituaries chiefly reprinted from the Independent newspaper and the Book Collector.
A Potencie of Life
The wide range of topics covered in this volume relate to manuscripts as well as the printed book. Essays cover papermaking in America, hand bookbinding, authorship and maritime publishing in 18th-century Britain. But it is the process of interdependent exchange between author, publisher and reader that is the central theme to the essays which are based on lectures given at the William Andrews Clark Library.
ABC for Book Collectors
This popular reference book is now in its eighth edition, comprehensively revised with over 450 alphabetical entries, ranging in length from a single line to several pages. An ideal book for any collector or bookseller.
Visible Voices
In Visible Voices Nicolas Barker traces the development of poetry from its ancient origin as an oral medium to its modern incarnation as a primarily written or printed artform. The book moves from the pictograms of the Ancient Near East through the development of alphabetic Nicolas Barker Visible Voices scripts, the traditions of Medieval European manuscripts, the shift from script to print, all the way to the innovations and experiments of the modernist period. Stéphane Mallarmé’s typographically exploded poem Un Coup de Dés Jamais N'Abolira Le Hasard, Barker writes, ‘takes the problem that has haunted poets and their audiences over four thousand years to a logical conclusion: that is, how the evanescent iridescent idea in the poet’s mind is to be registered in graphic form – what, in short, is the art of poetry?’ Illustrated throughout with photographs of the texts and books under discussion, Visible Voices offers a rich, authoritative account of the changing face of poetry through the ages.
